Are you guys kidding? It's simple economics...supply and demand. Are you saying that if you had the chance to make a quick $5k because you saw something under market value, you wouldn't make that money?

Back when the PS3 (and PS2, actually) first launched, I had access to 10 of them, bought them all and flipped them all within a day to nerds with too much money that needed to play the crappy launch titles immediately. Made almost $10k without ever opening a box. Is that wrong? I care so much less about how much someone else wants a car than $5k in my pocket because at the end of the day, people on Craigslist are just strangers.

If no one wanted it, no one would be able to flip and drive prices up. The market evens itself out.
